Find out how increased tariffs on Chinese imports could change the future of the furniture manufacturing industry forever.

Take a look at the effect of tariffs on the furniture import/export business as well as their impact on the availability of raw materials used in the furniture making industry.”

— Formaspace

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, July 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Threats of new trade tariffs have the potential to change the furniture industry, even at a company such as Formaspace that manufacture 100% of its furniture products here in the USA. We take a look at the effect of tariffs on the furniture import/export business as well as their impact on the availability of raw materials used in the furniture making industry.

Are we in a trade war?

That’s the billion dollar question that the stock market investors, businesses, and consumers are asking.

The stakes are high as the administration turns to the threat of tariffs as part of its ongoing negotiating strategy to sign new international trade agreements, which they believe are more favorable to American manufacturing and that safeguard American intellectual property (IP).

Actions threatened by Washington against one particular company, the Chinese multi-national electronics and communications giant Huawei, seem to have grabbed all the headlines in recent days – understandably so given the enormous consequences for tech companies, from Apple to Qualcomm, who are facing up to the prospect of having to unwind a truly global supply chain for computer chips and telecommunication components.

U.S. Trade Deficits In The Durable Manufactured Goods
But despite the importance of the electronics industry, it’s not the entire economy, at least not yet.

Given the seriousness of the current and proposed tariffs, we think it’s important to take a look at the balance of trade in durable manufactured goods, then drill down into the effects that tariffs will have on our corner the market: the furniture business.

Where do we stand at the moment with current U.S. trade deficits?

For durable manufactured goods, the picture is not great. Federal agencies report that in 2018, the US imported around $605 billion more durable manufactured goods than we exported. The trend has worsened over the last 5 years: the U.S. net trade deficit in durable manufactured goods has grown by 144% since 2014.

As you can see from the economic data shown in the chart above, we are currently running an account surplus in durable manufactured goods with Canada, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as many other countries shown in green on the map above.

At the other end of the scale are five countries – South Korea, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and China – with whom we have the largest net trading deficits in durable manufactured goods.

Imbalanced trade with China in durable manufactured goods poses a big problem for the US: In 2018, we bought $338 billion more durable manufactured goods from China than we were able to sell to back them – creating a trade deficit that is nearly 10 times the net surplus we have with our best customer, Canada.

The Threat Of Raising Section 301 Tariffs On Chinese Goods From 10% To 25%

The administration in Washington responded to the overseas trade deficit with China by instituting a 10% tariff on many Chinese imports under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. (This was in addition to a tariff on steel and aluminum products, more on that later.)

Then on May 10, 2019, the office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced: “Earlier today, at the direction of the President, the United States increased the level of tariffs from 10 percent to 25 percent on approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The President also ordered us to begin the process of raising tariffs on essentially all remaining imports from China, which are valued at approximately $300 billion.”

How will this affect our corner of the market, the furniture business?

Fortunately for Formaspace, the direct effects will be minimal. As you probably know, we manufacture all our furniture here in the USA at our Austin, Texas factory headquarters – using locally-supplied raw materials, including domestic steel and wood products.

As a result, Formaspace won’t be directly affected by the new tariffs on imported goods and materials (with the exception of some hardware items, which do come from overseas); however, there may be some indirect effects from these tariffs over the coming months, such as the possibility of increased prices for domestic steel.

But what about other companies that import Chinese furniture products or depend on Chinese raw materials? They could be hit pretty hard.

How hard? Let’s first take a look at the trade balance for imports and exports of U.S. furniture products.

According to Federal trade statistics, the United States is currently running a nearly $40 billion deficit in the overall furniture and fixtures market. Once again, China is racking up the biggest trade deficit, it sold nearly $26 billion more furniture and fixtures to the US in 2018 than we sold back to them. The Chinese imbalance in furniture trade is relatively large compared to that of our other trading partners: e.g. China’s furniture trading deficit is five times larger than that of the next country on the list, Vietnam.

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, July 23, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — The adhesives market expected to reach a value of nearly $92.9 billion by 2022, significantly growing at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period. The growth in the adhesives market is due to increasing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and emerging market growth.

However, the market for adhesives is expected to face certain restraints from several factors such as increasing interest rate and reduction in free trade.

The adhesives manufacturing market consists of the sales of adhesives, glues and caulking compounds by entities (organizations, sole traders or partnerships) that produce adhesives, glues and caulking compounds.

The global adhesives market is further segmented based on type and geography. By Type – The adhesives market is segmented into water-based, solvent-based, hot-melt-based, reactive & others. Among these segments, the water-based market accounts for the largest share in the global adhesives market.

By Geography – The global adhesives is segmented into North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Middle East and Africa. Among these regions, the Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest region in the global adhesives market.

Trends In The Adhesives MarketAdhesives are being developed to increase efficiencies of engineers and to increase assembly and processing speed. Since mechanical fasteners do not allow expansion or contraction of joined materials during temperature variations, adhesives are being used to accommodate movements caused by thermal expansion of substrates even after they are fully cured. Adhesives are being used to join composites instead of fasteners because drilling holes can damage composites which leads to loss of time and money.

Potential Opportunities In The Adhesives MarketWith increase in technology development and increased demand in the automobile industry, the scope and potential for the global adhesives market is expected to significantly rise in the forecast period.

The top players in the Adhesives market include 3M, Henkel, Sika AG, Dow Chemical Co, BASF.Adhesives Global Market Report 2019 is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides adhesives market overviews, analyzes and forecasts adhesives market size and growth for the global adhesives market, adhesives market share, adhesives market players, adhesives market size, adhesives market segments and geographies, adhesives market trends, adhesives market drivers and adhesives market restraints, adhesives market’s leading competitors’ revenues, profiles and market shares.
